Light-activated self-propelled colloids [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014 Light-activated self-propelled colloids are synthesized and their active motion is studied using optical microscopy. We propose a versatile route using different photoactive materials, and demonstrate a multiwavelength activation and propulsion.

Active colloids in harmonic optical potentials (a)
Europhysics Letters, 2022 Abstract We study the motion of active Janus colloids in an optical trap using experiments, theory and numerical simulations. To achieve isotropic and harmonic confinement, we prototype microparticles with a nearly uniform refractive index and verify that, in the absence of activity, the confined motion is identical to that of optically ...

Micromachines, 2021 For effective treatment of diseases such as cancer or fibrosis, it is essential to deliver therapeutic agents such as drugs to the diseased tissue, but these diseased sites are surrounded by a dense network of fibers, cells, and proteins known as the ...

Self-assembly of Active Colloidal Molecules with Dynamic Function
, 2015 Catalytically active colloids maintain non-equilibrium conditions in which they produce and deplete chemicals and hence effectively act as sources and sinks of molecules.

Preparation and 3D Tracking of Catalytic Swimming Devices [PDF]
, 2016 We report a method to prepare catalytically active Janus colloids that "swim" in fluids and describe how to determine their 3D motion using fluorescence microscopy.

Directed assembly of active colloidal molecules
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Having a production line for microrobots is fundamental to their widespread application in many areas. Thanks to their flexibility, active colloidal molecules with dynamic function are a promising model for microrobots.

Omnidirectional transport and navigation of Janus particles through a nematic liquid crystal film
Physical Review Research, 2020 We create controllable active particles in the form of metal-dielectric Janus colloids which acquire motility through a nematic liquid crystal film by transducing the energy of an imposed perpendicular AC electric field.

Which interactions dominate in active colloids? [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2019 Despite mounting evidence that the same gradients, which active colloids use for swimming, induce important cross-interactions (phoretic interactions), they are still ignored in most many-body descriptions, perhaps to avoid complexity and a zoo of unknown parameters. Here we derive a simple model, which reduces phoretic far-field interactions to a pair-
